Watercolorist teaches how to paint pictures of boats
ASTORIA — The Astoria Art
Loft will host a workshop,
“Painting Boats in Water-
color” with Stan Riedesel,
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and
Saturday, Oct. 20 and 21.
If you are passionate about
painting boats, this is the
workshop for you. The fee
is $120.
Riedesel paints images
of Southwest Washington,
with its small river towns
and their people. Fishing
and fishermen are a favorite
subject. Farms, beaches and
the ever-present rain lend
the area its particular beauty,
captured in watercolor.
Riedesel has been en-
couraged by family to draw
and create from his youth
in Chehalis, Washington.
Building small wooden
boats as a hobby contributes
to his drawing. Later, both in
college and as an elementa-
ry school teacher, Riedesel
continued his love of art,
though he found little time
to practice it.
After retiring with his
wife, he sought to expand
his love of art buy taking
classes with Eric Wiegardt
in Ocean Park. Wiegardt’s
skill with sketching and
painting has rubbed off on
Riedesel, as has a love of
impressionism.
Riedesel is a member
of both the Peninsula Arts
Association and Northwest
Artist Guild, on the Long
Beach Peninsula and has
found success in showing
his work. He can be reached
at sriedesel@comcast.net.
